MacOS how to hide the folders and files located on the desktop

I have folders and files on the desktop, I would like to make sure that when I take a screenshot or video recording of a program, the folders and files I have on the desktop are not seen.

Is there any command on the terminal that allows me to do this?

I need to hide everything only when I do the screen or the recording, and then return everything as before.
